ANNOTATION

The book contains black-and-white illustrations.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Modern imaging techniques allow anatomic structures and their relationships to be seen with previously unseen clarity. Imaging Atlas of Human Anatomy is the definitive atlas of normal anatomy as viewed through the complete range of imaging modalities. The book provides an ideal source for study and interpretation of radiologic images, which is essential for training in clinical radiology and other associated disciplines. Organised by region, each area of normal anatomy is presented via a range of techniques. The images are meticulously labelled, providing the reader with a reliable and comprehensive guide to normal human anatomy.

The third edition has been updated to reflect advances in imaging technology, particularly in terms of CT, MR and ultrasound imaging. In all, over 200 new diagnostic images have been added, and in response to user feedback, 25 new line diagrams have been added to aid interpretation of certain key images. The book therefore now includes over 700 photographs of outstanding clarity, as well as 35 interpretive artworks.
